Could someone point me in the right direction

[rattleandhum]

Hey everyone,

I was very suprised to see such a community centered around the very thing I was trying to create!

Im using Native Instrument's B4 (b3 organ clone) and am wanting to make a controller with 24 faders, 8 buttons (less if I need to) and preferrably an lcd display so I know where the faders are at for every preset that comes up.

SO...since I am new here..(and know nothing yet about PIC, MIOS, or anything), should I be building three midibox's of the old design, a midibox64?  Or should I be doing the MIDIbox64 LC?  I am definately a little confused.  I dont mind doing my own research, but a little help in pointing me in the right direction would be very helpful, as I dont understand really any of the common language around here yet.

And...does anyone have any *general* idea what I'm going to spend to do all this (I realize that pots and switch costs vary from place to place)

I would appreicate any help.  Many many thanks to anyone who responds...

motorfaders or non motorized?

what is your budget? if your basing around 24 motorfaders then get ready to shell out some change man, just as im doing right now.

Non motorized faders..  If I were to do motorized, it would have to be only 8 faders and a couple buttons if that.

What's the difference in price?  I know I can get a standard fader for about $1

Non motorized faders..

So read everything about MB64 (It's no old design  ;))

Depends on the faders. For Alps you will pay around 20$ each.
